He leads all youth and adult programs and his approach is rooted in a deep interest in how people learn, with an emphasis on practice design, adaptability, and developing effective, high-level jiu-jitsu.

Shaun is constantly refining how sessions are structured to help students progress as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Jessi Steiner

Jessi brings over 16 years of experience in grappling and MMA and plays a key role in shaping the gym's supportive, engaging environment.

She co-coaches youth classes and especially values working with younger athletes during an important stage of both physical and emotional development, helping them build confidence, resilience, and self-awareness.

Alongside coaching, Jessi manages much of the day-to-day operations of the gym, including client communication and administrative work. She helps keep the gym organized, responsive, and running efficiently behind the scenes so coaches and students can focus on training.



Our Academy

We take our role as leaders seriously, but that doesn't mean creating a rigid or overly formal environment.

For us, it's about running a gym where people feel comfortable, supported, and challenged at the same time. That starts with a clean space, clear expectations, and a culture built on respect.

A lot of our focus goes into how we design training. We want people to develop skills that actually hold up over time in real situations. Our sessions are built to encourage problem-solving, adaptability, and active engagement, with guidance throughout.

We also believe a good gym is one where people feel like they're part of something. Communication is open, and we value input from our members, but it's our responsibility to maintain a positive, respectful, and focused environment.

At the end of the day, our job is to take care of the space, the people, and the training so everyone who walks in has the opportunity to improve and enjoy the process.
